    The document discusses the systematic process for designing flexible pavement structures according to the JKR Manual for the Structural Design of Flexible Pavement. The key steps involve determining the design traffic in terms of total equivalent standard axle loads (ESALs) over the design period, evaluating the subgrade strength based on CBR or modulus values, assigning the pavement a traffic category and subgrade category, and selecting a preliminary pavement structure from design charts based on the traffic and subgrade categories. Low-volume roads may have simpler pavement structures.
