A turbine ring assembly includes ring sectors made of ceramic matrix composite material forming a turbine ring and a ring support structure having first and second annular flanges, each ring sector having first and second tabs held between the flanges. First and second holder elements secured to the first annular flange being received in first and second openings in the first tab, while first and second holder elements secured to the second annular flange are in first and second openings in the second tab. Radial clearance is being present when cold between the openings and the portions of the holder elements present in the openings. The first and second annular flanges include, on their faces facing the first and second tabs, a plurality of thrust portions distributed in circumferential manner over the flanges, the ends of the tabs, when cold, being in radial abutment against two thrust portions.
A turbine ring assembly comprising both a plurality of ring sectors made of ceramic matrix composite material to form a turbine ring, and also a ring support structure having first and second annular flanges, each ring sector having a portion forming an annular base with, in a radial direction of the turbine ring, an inner face defining the inside face of the turbine ring and an outer face from which there extend first and second tabs, the first and second tabs of each ring sector being held between the first and second annular flanges of the ring support structure;
