What is claimed is: 1. A reinforcing system, comprising: a concrete structure having a crack; a plurality of first recesses formed in said concrete structure on opposite sides of said crack; a rigidified reinforcing member having a first leg, a second leg, and a continuous bridge portion, said first leg extending from a first end of said bridge portion and adapted to penetratingly engage said concrete structure at a corresponding one of said plurality of first recesses, said second leg extending from a second end of said bridge portion and adapted to penetratingly engage said concrete structure at a corresponding another of said plurality of first recesses, said first and second legs are formed integral to said bridge portion and angularly extend from said bridge portion, said rigidified reinforcing member is coated with a first adhesive that is cured to rigidify said rigidified reinforcing member wherein said first leg, said second leg and said bridge portion are each rigidified in a generally planar configuration; a second adhesive injected into said crack; and a third adhesive adhering said rigidified reinforcing member to said concrete structure with said first leg and said second leg adhered within said plurality of first recesses and said continuous bridge portion adhered to a face of said concrete structure and overlapping at least a portion of said crack. 2. The reinforcing system of claim 1 wherein said rigidified reinforcing member includes carbon fiber. 3. The reinforcing system of claim 2 further comprising a removable film on at least one side of said rigidified reinforcing member, wherein said removable film is textured to provide a plurality of indentations on at least a portion of said rigidified reinforcing member. 4. The reinforcing system of claim 1 wherein said second and third adhesive is an epoxy resin. 5. A reinforcing system, comprising: a concrete structure having a crack; a plurality of first recesses formed in said concrete structure, said first recesses having a depth less than the depth of said concrete structure and located on opposite sides of said crack; a rigidified reinforcing member having a first leg, a second leg, and a continuous bridge portion, said first leg extending from a first end of said bridge portion and terminating within said concrete structure and adapted to adhere to a first surface of a corresponding one of said plurality of first recesses of said concrete structure, said second leg extending from a second end of said bridge portion and terminating within said concrete structure and adapted to adhere to a first surface of a corresponding another of said plurality of first recesses of said concrete structure, said bridge portion being adapted to adhere to a face of said concrete structure and overlapping at least a portion of said crack, said first and second legs are formed integral to said bridge portion and said first and second legs angularly extend from said bridge portion, said rigidified reinforcing member is coated with a first adhesive that is cured to rigidify said rigidified reinforcing member wherein said first leg, said second leg and said bridge portion are each rigidified in a generally planar configuration; a second adhesive injected into said crack; and a third adhesive adhering said rigidified reinforcing member to said concrete structure, wherein the first and second legs of said rigidified reinforcing member are adhered in said first recesses. 6. The reinforcing system of claim 5 wherein said rigidified reinforcing member includes carbon fiber. 7. The reinforcing system of claim 6 further comprising a removable film on at least one side of said rigidified reinforcing member, wherein said removable film is textured to provide a plurality of indentations on at least a portion of said rigidified reinforcing member. 8. The reinforcing system of claim 5 wherein said second adhesive is an epoxy resin. 9. A reinforcing system comprising: a structure including a first face having a crack and first and second recesses formed in said first face on opposite sides of said crack; a rigidified reinforcing member including a first leg, a second leg, and a continuous bridge portion integrally formed and cooperating with each other to form a substantially U-shaped cross-section, said continuous bridge portion is disposed on said first face of said structure and traverses said crack, said continuous bridge portion having a first end and a second end on opposite side of said crack, said first leg extending from said first end of said continuous bridge portion and penetratingly engaging said first recess, said second leg extending from said second end of said continuous bridge portion and penetratingly engaging said second recess; and an adhesive adhering said first leg in said first recess, adhering said second leg in said second recess, and adhering said continuous bridge portion to said first face. 10. The reinforcing system of claim 9 wherein said rigidified reinforcing member includes carbon fiber. 11. The reinforcing system of claim 9 wherein said adhesive is an epoxy resin. 12. The reinforcing system of claim 9 wherein a second adhesive is injected into said crack. 13. The reinforcing system of claim 9 further comprising a removable film on at least one side of said rigidified reinforcing member, wherein said removable film is textured to provide a plurality of indentations on at least a portion of said rigidified reinforcing member.
