orthotropic material properties

If I understand the question right, I think this response will help:
Typically, the material properties (for a single composite layer or lamina) are taken to be the same in both the Y and Z (transverse) directions, since they are both resin dominated properties. While the fiber does have a set of transverse properties, they really make minimal contribution to the strength on the macroscopic scale.
This is typically good enough for most composite applications.
