An internal cooling circuit is described for a gas turbine bucket having a shank portion (16) and an airfoil portion (12) having leading and trailing edges and pressure and suction sides, the internal cooling circuit having a serpentine configuration including plural radial outflow passages (30,34,38) and plural radial inflow passages (32,36,40), and wherein a coolant inlet passage (26) communicates with a first (30) of the radial outflow passages (30,34,38) along the trailing edge, the first radial outflow passage (30) having a plurality of radially extending and radially spaced elongated rib segments (56) extending between and connecting the pressure and suction sides in a middle region of the first passage (30) to prevent ballooning of the pressure and suction sides at the first radial outflow passage. <IMAGE> |
