We consider a dynamical one-dimensional nonlinear Marguerre-Vlaslov model for an elastic arch depending on a parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and study its asymptotic behavior for large time as $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$. Introducing appropriate boundary feedbacks, we prove that the corresponding energy decays exponentially as $t\rightarrow \infty$, uniformly with respect to $\varepsilon$ and the curvature. The analysis highlights the importance of the damping mechanism - assumed to be proportional to $\varepsilon^{\alpha}$, $0\leq \alpha\leq 1$ - on the longitudinal deformation of the arch. The limit as $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$, first exhibits a linear and a nonlinear arch model, for $\alpha>0$ and $\alpha=0$ respectively and then, allows us to obtain exponential decay properties. Some numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results, analyze the cases $\alpha\notin [0,1]$ and evaluate the influence of the curvature on the stabilization.
