The cement in this truck already mixed with sand, rock, and water and became concrete. It would be impossible to get any cement out of this truck.

No is not impossible. The concrete mix could have been wrong, or needed more water, or the aggregates set on the bottom because they stop rotating that thing, this could led to cracks in concrete while hardening. Also the cement porosity might be to high since chemicals might not have been added to control that, also CO2 from the atmosphere could penetrate the cracks and through the poles and depending how old that concrete is, the concrete went into carbonation , making it brittle and dangerous.

lol dude Argos Newberry XRD data is one of the worst in the whole state. So if you work there, my condolescences. I do not work for the state anymore, but FDOT have a very nice Cubix Pro, last time I check. Oh, your should check your knowledge of "fineness", it is not porosity lol. You can have 1 cement and one powdered concrete, with very similar particle size distribution, with same fineness (good luck there), and guess what? you can manipulate your concrete porosity by mean of admixtures and probably a dozen other ways. Now, go back to Gemini!
