Typical is a strange word.

I assign the core 1/3 of the composite weight. Equal faces: Glass fiber on each face is 1/6 of the composite weight, resin 1/6 o fthe composite weight.

Thickness depends on the loading you need.

Then again ...

On a current project the core is 100% and there are no faces.
