The design value of wheel load is one of the key design parameters for high-speed railway ballastless track structure, which essentially belongs to the extreme estimation of wheel load. Based on the generalized Pareto distribution theory, this article carries on the research on the extreme value estimations of wheel load excited by whole wavelength range irregularity, which provides a basis for the design of ballastless track structure. When using automatic threshold selection method, sample declustering can improve the independence between data. The shape parameter screening method is proposed for the extreme value estimations of wheel load, and the corresponding sample size and shape parameter range for each cluster are determined. A reasonable sample size is determined, and the mean of the extreme estimations of wheel load is used as the final extreme estimation of wheel load. The dynamic coefficients that match the design life of the ballastless track structure are obtained.
