I want to learn more about masonry structures and it would be a great help if someone can recommend me book which focuses on the core concept of masonry structures.
Thank you!

You can go through the book Masonry Design and Detailing by Christine Beall where you can find the core concept of the masonry structure.
I find the following reference books helpful:
(1) "Manual for the Design of Plain Masonry in Building Structures" by The Institution of Structural Engineers
(2) "Masonry Structural Design" by Richard E. Klinger
(3) "Design of Structural Elements" by W. M. C. McKenzie
(4) "Design of Structural Elements" by Chanakya Arya
1- Long-term performance and durability of masonry structures: degradation mechanisms, health monitoring and service life design
2- Masonry Structures: Between Mechanics and Architecture
3-Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures
4-Earthquake-resistant design of masonry buildings
5- Design of Reinforced Masonry Structures, 2nd Edition
6- Earthquake-resistant design of masonry buildings
Dear Pukar, see attached another good material. I have used that book for my postgraduate coursework at Wits university. Regards
Dear Pukar,
Getting all of the content into one book is extremely difficult. If you'd like to learn more about masonry structures and their behaviour under different tye of forces, you may refer to the books listed below:
1. Drysdale, R. G., Hamid, A. H. and Baker, L. R., “Masonry Structure: Behaviour and Design”, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs (1994).
2. Schneider, R.R. and Dickey, W. L., “Reinforced Masonry Design”, 3rd Ed, Prentice Hall (1994).
3. Paulay, T. and Priestley, M. J. N., “Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings”, John Wiley & Sons (1995).
4. Amrhein, J. E., “Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook,” Masonry Institute of America, CRC Press (1998).
5. Hendry, A. W., “Structural Masonry”, Macmillan Press Ltd. (1998).
6. “Prestandard and Commentary for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings,” FEMA 356, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, D.C.9 (2000).
7. Tomazevic, M., “Earthquake Resistant Design of Masonry Buildings”, Imperial Colleges Press (2000).
