I am conducting non-linear time history analysis for several masonry arch bridges. However, even though I made an extensive search on internet, I couldn't have found any Guildeline/Code to determine the damage levels/limits of masonry arch bridges based on stresses/strains/displacements.
If someone knows how to determine the seismic damage levels/states of masonry arch bridges, your help will be precious !
Thanks a lot in advance !
The following paper discusses some limit states for reinforced concrete structures. You can check some references cited in such paper.

You can widen your reading to include non bridge structures, and get out some dusty books from the library.
DM0 No visible structural damage: In Order
DM1 Light Superficial: LS
DM2 Moderate: M
DM3 Heavy: H
DM4 Collapsed pilings: CP
Thank you a lot for your responses. Julian Carrillo, I am checking the references cited in the paper. Ian Kennedy, I am widening my readings to non bridge structures to see the damage limits. Are there any spesific codes/guidelines/papers which you can recommend to me for the evaluation of seismic performance limits of masonry structures ?
Thank you all again for your responses !
Kind regards.
Which of these looks most promising to you?
