Provided are turbine blades and a gas turbine capable of damping the vibrations caused by an excitation force and facilitating mounting/disassembly. Included are a shroud portion disposed at an end portion of an airfoil portion; a holder casing that can slide relative to the shroud portion, that can also be attached thereto/detached therefrom, and that forms a space with the shroud portion therebetween; and an elastic portion that is disposed in the space, that biases the shroud portion in a direction that separates it from the holder casing, and is disposed in a movable manner relative to the shroud portion; and a pressing portion that is disposed between the elastic portion and the holder casing and that can be moved toward and away from the shroud portion.

There are provided a method for removing a blade ring by pulling out the blade ring smoothly and surely while preventing damage to other components, and a member for removing a blade ring. By using a dummy blade ring, connection plates, and connecting bolts, work for removing and mounting a lower half section of the blade ring is performed. Thereby, work of rotation and the like can be performed while the lower half section of the blade ring and the dummy blade ring are connected to each other in both end portions. Therefore, during the work, the lower half section of the blade ring and the dummy blade ring are prevented from shifting from each other and therefore from interfering with the opposed rotor blade tip, a lower half section of a casing, and the like, thus preventing damage to the tip, distortion of the lower half section of the blade ring and the dummy blade ring, and the like. Consequently, a stator blade ring can be pulled out smoothly and surely.
